The Lib Dem Council is proposing to change the way that your rubbish is collected. This will mean moving to brown bin collections every two weeks, rather than the current weekly one.
The new system involves up to six separate bins, with various different combinations being collected in any given week.
Melissa Pearce, the Conservative Candidate for the Carshalton Central By-Election, said: “For most of us, this is the council’s most visible service. People will understand there needs to be a balance between recycling, cost and practicality so I would like to hear your views because the Lib Dems are refusing to ask your opinion. Do you think you will have room for all the bins? Do mums with small children who are still in nappies have concerns about the brown bins only being collected once a fortnight?"
Lib Dems in Kingston - where the system has been in use since February - describe it as “chaotic” and “rubbish”, and say residents are “furious”. The new contract will start in April 2017 – get in touch and let us know your views before it’s too late.
